Welcome to a new school year! This will be our only printed newsletter this year. Updates, calendars, news, homework assignments, test dates and other information will be updated here on our classroom website.

I thought I would take a minute to introduce myself since I will be working with your student this year. My name is Jim Barnes, and this will be my 16th year teaching fourth grade in the Dexter Schools.Prior to that I taught 5th grade in the Ann Arbor Public schools for 2 years. I live in the Waterloo Recreation area outside of Chelsea with my wife Michelle, our son Logan (10) our daughter Annabelle (7) and our little guy Porter (3). We love to be outdoors, whether it be hiking, backpacking, kayaking or fly fishing. Recently we took the kids backpacking through the wilds of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a bit of challenge, but well worth it.
